Coffee drinkers are so easy to shop for. Just get them a pound of coffee and a mug and that’s that. Or, you can be a little more creative and get them something fun from our list of the 10+ Best Gifts For Coffee Lovers. There are gifts you can purchase and others you can make.
For more shopping help, check out all of our gift guides.
I wasn’t really a fan of coffee until a few years ago. And now, I’m making up for lost time. Whenever we’re on vacation, we stop into a cute local coffee shop to relax. And we have a ton of coffee dates at home — with special engraved glasses.
We actually have a bunch of fun coffee stuff at home, items that we’ve bought for ourselves or I’ve gotten for Pete as gifts throughout the years.
If you’re shopping for a coffee fan, you’re in luck. We put together this list of the best gifts for coffee lovers. This gift guide includes a few items that we own and just absolutely love, plus a few that I would love to have in our home.
This list of gifts for coffee lovers is just one of the gift guides we have on Drugstore Divas.

10+ Best Gifts For Coffee Lovers
Affiliate links are included in this post and Drugstore Divas may make a small commission if you use them.
These are all great gifts for coffee drinkers. They’d also make really good Secret Santa gifts for coffee lovers. And that’s pretty helpful actually because so many people write “coffee” as a like on their office Secret Santa list. Or for stocking stuffers too.
Airtight Coffee Canister
We can fit a full bag of coffee in our Airtight Coffee Canister, which keeps the coffee fresher than if you kept it in an open bag (which, obviously, isn’t airtight after you open it).
After you add the coffee, you track the date you put it in on the top, then change the filter when necessary. It’s easy. And keeps your coffee fresh.
Krups Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder
We actually have the Krups Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder and it’s great. Pete prefers whole bean coffee, but obviously, you can’t stick whole beans into the coffee machine. You need to grind the beans first.
And yes, grocery stores have coffee grinders there (at least, they used to), but fresh ground coffee is better. So having a grinder at home, so you can grind on demand, is perfect.
French Press
When Pete makes us coffee on the weekends, he makes it in the French press. He grinds coffee beans and uses that to make such a delicious, rich coffee that’s so much better than if you made it in traditional coffee machines. It’s a really good cup of coffee.
Sure, using a coffee machine is easier during the week, and using a K-cup is even easier, but a French press only takes four minutes from when you pour the hot water into the machine until it’s done, so it’s not that long.
Moka Pot
For our six month anniversary (a decade and a half ago), I bought Pete a Moka Pot (which is Italian) and some fancy Italian coffee.
In the simplest term, a moka pot is a stainless steel stove-top espresso maker. So, instead of needing one of those expensive espresso machines to make coffee for cappuccinos, mochas, or affogato, you can use this little contraption to brew the coffee right on the stove.
If your friend drinks a few cups of coffee at a time, this might not work because it doesn’t brew that much at once. But, it’s enough to add an espresso shot to a couple of coffee drinks.
Rise And Shine It’s Coffee Time Sign
There’s a chance your coffee aficionado has a coffee station in their home. They’ve become very popular lately. It’s usually a corner of the kitchen with a full coffee setup: cups, sugar, K-cups, and lots of coffee paraphernalia.
So they definitely need a Rise And Shine It’s Coffee Time sign. There are a ton of styles and different sizes to choose from, so you’ll be able to find the perfect one for your friend’s space.
Cold Brew Maker
To me, the best coffee is hot coffee. Iced coffee is okay, but even when it’s hot out, I prefer hot coffee. The exception, though, is cold brew. And cold brew with cold foam is just delicious. It’s a good cup of coffee, but just a little more expensive than it needs to be.
So, a cold brew coffee maker is the perfect gift for a friend who likes cold brew but doesn’t like the cost of it at the coffee shop.
Personalized Coffee Scoop
We have a wooden coffee scoop in our coffee canister, and it’s really the most convenient thing. No searching for a tablespoon early in the morning.
This Personalized Coffee Scoop is as adorable as it is practical. You can get your recipient’s name printed on the scoop. Then, the scoop can be used to scoop the coffee and to close the coffee bag.
But First Coffee Wood Sign with hooks
There are a lot of But First, Coffee signs out there, but I love this one has gooks, which makes it really functional. It’s not just decoration.
If you’re giving this as a gift to someone, you can include a ceramic mug or two for them to hang on the hooks (or they can just hang their own).
Coffee Cup Coffee Pod Storage Basket
When we moved into our apartment, my brother and his now-wife bought us a coffee pod storage case to go under our coffee maker. We still have it (although we’ve upgraded our coffee maker) and fill it with coffee pods. It’s perfect for us because it doesn’t take up much space.
If your coffee enthusiast has a little more space, pick up this Coffee Cup Coffee Pod Storage Basket to hold their K-cups. It’s so cute. You can purchase some coffee pods too (which is what my brother did for us) and it feels like a complete gift.
Don’t Speak Coffee Mug
I’m laughing way too hard at this Don’t Speak Coffee Mug, so I’m sure your coffee lover will like it too. Plus, you know, the funniest coffee mugs are the ones that get used daily. So your coffee-loving friend will be thinking of you basically every day.
This would be a really good gift for someone who works at an office or a stay at home parent with kids at home. Or both.
If You Can Read This Bring Me Some Coffee Cozy Socks
What’s better than cozy socks? Not much. Unless someone brings you coffee while you’re wearing cozy socks.
And that’s exactly what this pair of If You Can Read This Bring Me Some Coffee Cozy Socks asks for, which people can read when your coffee lover has their feet propped up on the couch and they’re relaxing in the morning.
Travel Coffee Tote for 2
Picnics are cool, picnics with coffee are even better. This Travel Coffee Tote for 2 is perfect to bring your coffee on the go. It comes with a stainless vacuum flask, cups, creamer holder, and teaspoons.
Pete and I go on coffee dates a lot, which is basically just us going to a coffee shop and getting coffee, so this would be a dun way to take that date somewhere else.
Burnout Travel Mug
We were gifted a pair of Burnout Travel Mugs a few years ago, and we’ve been in love with them ever since. You pour in your piping hot coffee and the mug almost instantly brings it to the perfect hot temperature for consuming. It keeps your coffee regulated to that temperature too, so you never have to worry about it getting cold before you can get to it. Because it was made by rocket scientists. Literally.
So a travel mug is a good gift. But this one is a better option than a standard mug.
Even better, some coffee shops give out discounts for using a travel mug, so your gift will save your friend some money too.
Cute Kitty Cat Coasters
Cats and coffee seem to go hand in hand. If you like one, you like the other. Or maybe that’s just me.
If you coffee lover is like me, these Cute Kitty Cat Coasters are an excellent gift. You can get a pair, a set of four, or a set of six.
Fresh Coffee Candle
I love the smell brewed coffee. Opening up the door of a coffee shop and having the coffee smell hit your nose is just amazing. Who wouldn’t love that at home?
You can get that, without brewing coffee all day long, with this Fresh Coffee Candle. Or, your gift recipient can. Or both of you. Sounds like you need to buy a pair of these.
But First Coffee Wood Book Stack
If you want to make a really cool gift for your coffee loving friend, this DIY But First Coffee Wood Book Stack is it. It’s perfect to sit on their coffee bar or near their coffee cups.
You can something similar, if you’re not feeling crafty. But, what I love about this craft, is it actually looks like you bought it. Your friend might know you made it, but it doesn’t really look homemade. And those are the types of crafts I like best.
But First, Coffee Mug
Another fun DIY craft to make your coffee loving gift recipient is this DIY But First, Coffee Mug. It’s so simple to make using a marker and a steady hand. You don’t even need a vinyl cutting machine to make it.
Just be sure to tell your gift recipient that you made it, so it needs to be hand washed. If not the letters will eventually wash away.
DIY Starbucks Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder
A gift card to a coffee shop is a great gift option. Your friend can go and treat themselves … on your dime.
But, the truth is, gift cards are so boring. So, follow my lead and be a little extra and pack a Starbucks gift card in a Starbucks coffee cup. All you need is an iced coffee cup and a little paper shred. It’s such a cute package and just looks like a better gift than a gift card stuck in an envelope.
